What a visit includes.
Furnace not lighting, blowing cold, or cutting out early? We get heat back and check it is safe.
Same-day appointments are often available, and 24/7 emergency service covers a house with no heat.
- Ignition, flame sensing and safety controls tested
- Heat exchanger inspected on gas equipment
- Blower and airflow checked, not just the burner
- Straight advice when a repair is not worth making
Safety checks on gas equipment are part of the call, not an extra. If something is unsafe we will tell you plainly.
The diagnostic cost is given to you up front. Diagnosed on site, with the diagnostic cost given up front and the repair approved by you before it starts.
Sound familiar?.
Any of these is worth a call. For no heat or no cooling at all, ring us rather than sending a request — emergency service runs 24/7.
- Furnace clicks, tries to light, then shuts down after a few seconds
- Blowing cold air when the heat is calling
- Runs for a few minutes then cuts out, over and over
- Persistent burning smell beyond the first run of the season
- Burner flame lifts, rolls or looks yellow rather than blue
- Heat pump running on auxiliary heat constantly
- Unexpectedly large winter power bill with no comfort change
About heating on the coast.
Why heating faults surface all at once here
Coastal Georgia does not have a long heating season, and that is precisely the problem. Equipment that runs a handful of weeks a year sits idle for eight or nine months, and the first genuinely cold night is when everyone finds out what did not survive the summer — at the same time.
The most useful thing a homeowner can do costs nothing: run the heat for a few minutes on a mild day in autumn, rather than discovering a fault on the coldest night of the year alongside everybody else.
What actually fails
Igniters and flame sensors are the usual suspects. A hot surface igniter is a consumable that degrades every cycle and eventually cracks. A flame sensor fouls rather than fails — a thin oxide film builds up, the furnace lights, cannot confirm flame, and shuts down within seconds. That pattern, lighting then dropping out almost immediately, is close to diagnostic on its own.
A furnace that runs several minutes then stops points somewhere else, usually a limit switch responding to a genuine overheat. The cause is often airflow — a filter left in far too long, a closed return, a tired blower. Replacing the switch without fixing the airflow removes the protection and leaves the problem.
Heat pumps fail differently again. One leaning constantly on auxiliary resistance heat will keep the house warm and produce a startling bill, which arrives as a billing complaint rather than a comfort one and often traces to thermostat configuration rather than a broken part.
The safety check is not an upsell
Gas equipment carries a dimension cooling equipment does not. A cracked heat exchanger can put combustion products into the air you breathe, so inspecting it belongs in any heating service call as a matter of course rather than as an added line.
If something is unsafe we will tell you plainly, including when that is inconvenient and including when it costs us the repair. Working carbon monoxide alarms in a house with gas heat are not optional, and they are inexpensive.

Furnace or heat pump not heating, blowing cold air, cycling or running up the bill.
- Furnace won't turn on or lightA gas furnace that won't light is most often a worn igniter, a dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter tripping a safety limit, or a thermostat or power problem.
- Furnace blowing cold airA furnace blowing cold air is often a thermostat set to fan On rather than Auto, a furnace that has shut its burners off on a safety limit, or an ignition problem.
- Furnace turning on and offA furnace that runs for a few minutes, shuts off and restarts over and over is short cycling.
- Heat pump not heatingA heat pump that runs but doesn't heat well may have a thermostat set incorrectly, a dirty filter, an iced-up outdoor coil, a low refrigerant charge, or a reversing valve or defrost problem.
- Heat pump iced up or stuck in defrostIn cold, damp weather a heat pump's outdoor coil collects frost, and the system runs a defrost cycle to melt it — steam and a few minutes of cooler indoor air are normal.
- Aux heat always on / high winter billAuxiliary heat is the backup — usually electric resistance — that helps a heat pump in very cold weather or during defrost.

Questions we get asked.
- Do you offer emergency heating service?
- Yes. 24/7 emergency service covers a house with no heat. For anything in that category, call rather than send a request through the site.
- There is a burning smell when the heat first comes on.
- A brief smell as dust burns off the heat exchanger is normal after months of the furnace sitting idle. A persistent one is not. Neither is a burner flame that lifts and rolls, or repeated short cycling.
- Should I just replace the furnace?
- Not automatically. Igniters, flame sensors and limit switches are ordinary repairs with years of life behind them. A cracked heat exchanger, or repairs starting to cluster on equipment over about fifteen years old, is a different conversation and we will have it honestly.
- Do you work on heat pumps as well as gas furnaces?
- Yes, and a good many homes here heat with one. The diagnosis is genuinely different — defrost behaviour, auxiliary heat staging and thermostat configuration all matter in ways they do not on a gas furnace.
